  1. Here’s an Olympic white bitsa that consists of a Fender USA body from the 90’s, Fender Jap 64 electrics, I was told that have been in there since then. I got the body loaded on here a few years ago and the seller had it as a build lying in his wardrobe since the 90’s. The bound neck I bought separately and is maple with rosewood (I think). No name with a Fender logo. The tuners aren’t great but do work and hold tune. It’s in good condition with a few blemishes. There’s a few marks here and there but nothing horrendous. There has been another string retainer on it at some point as you can see in the photos and it looks like someone has managed to use a screw that was too long for one of the tuners at some point and it’s poked through the front of the headstock. Nothing major. It doesn’t look like a bullet hole or someone’s hacked their way through it with a butter knife or anything like that either. It’s a Jazz so it weighs about 9 1/2 lb I reckon but that’s only a guess. That’s a mark actually in the wood on the back of the neck, not a gouge or a scratch etc. It sounds great and plays nicely but does need a set up. The neck pickup seems to make an odd rustling noise now and again. I cleaned the pots and it improved immediately but hasn’t gone completely. I put it down to 25 years or so in a wardrobe. It needs some tlc and I can’t see me getting round to doing it either. I only use it as a backup to a Precision and so a P Bass would be more useful to me. I may trade for a 22 b24 fret bass. Must have good intonation / action. It’s for tapping. Or, Olympic white Precision or Yamaha EAD10. Try me with anything musically related though. You never know. Will post to mainland UK with the neck off as I have no case or collection from Blackburn Lancs.
  2. This is all the cab anyone sane will ever need. I’m not 100% sure but this may well have been mine and if so, it’s colossal! I’ve now got the Super Twin and I’m still thinking of ways to nab this back 🤣
  3. Sold an amp to Simon, fast payment, great communication and a splendid chap to deal with too. What more could you want? Top BC man 😁. Thanks again. Cheers Dunc
  4. I bought this recently on here but since have acquired 2 amps with built in tuners and so, this is no longer needed. Payment via bank transfer please.
  5. EHX Bass Clone, sounds great, all works as it should and has plenty of signs of use. I’ve just acquired a Multiamp and so now this little fella is no longer required. Payment via bank transfer please.
  6. Works as it should. Shows some signs of use. Now surplus to requirements.
  7. All works as it should but has signs of use. Payment via bank transfer please.
  8. I’m another with a built P Bass. Mex body, Classic Vibe Jazz neck. Weighs in a little under 9lb. The necks are superb.
  9. I’ve been using one with the tube drive Toneprint and a BF Super Twin and I daren’t turn it up past number 2. This particular outfit aren’t a particularly loud band but they certainly could be 😁
  10. This has been my backup. Good condition and all works as it should. Used a couple of times with a BF Compact and a Super Twin. To be honest, I thought if my main amp was a goner, I would just buy another Elf and use one as a main and one as a spare. Great sound and tons of volume for my needs. Buckets of with the Super Twin. I’ve got a few amps racked now and so no need to carry a separate spare and so this little fella is up for sale. Postage extra at cost or collection from Blackburn Lancs.

  11. I sold a 73 Jazz for £70 in the 90’s 😳 As my old mother used to say, ”Hindsight is a wonderful thing son”. I used an Olympic JV 57 for years and loved it. Still regret selling it. Wonderful instruments. I’m sorely tempted with yours but alas something needs to sell first. 😁
  12. Can’t believe this is still here! If I remember rightly, your old 66 Precision would have been 58 today? 😁
  13. XR18 takes up 3u, a drawer 1u, IEM 1u in height but only half width. You could get a 1u shelf and put the transmitter on there and have room at the side for a spare. Maybe an external router in there? You could reconfigure the headphones out on the XR18 to accommodate a monitor mix for your drummer. Make sure there’s mounting rails on both sides of your case ( I’ve made that mistake) t for your power rail. I would go for a shallow 6u (at least as things may change) case with lids not a bag. Think about the rack ears you buy too. You will need them to have holes to feed cabling through or you may need another rack space at some point. If you buy recessed rack ears, you can save on wear and tear, you can leave leads plugged in with no worries of the lids pushing against them when they are fitted. I play in a couple of outfits that use them with in ears with different configurations. I’ve just built one setup with mic splitters so it can be used live onstage, setup as if we are in rehearsals (We don’t really trust venues to control our in ear mixes). All the signals are now split to separate outs to go to a larger PA at venues. We set up as if we are rehearsing and the venue takes the feeds they need from our splitters. It all sounds simple but the amount of times I’ve put stuff in a rack and taken it back out again to rearrange is a joke 😂 You’ll get the idea soon enough. Good luck, yore going to have a great system 😁
  14. Has become surplus since acquiring an XR18 and so I’m testing the water. Presonus 16.0.2 Studiolive FireWire mixer / interface. In good condition. Too many bells and whistles to mention but comprehensive information and video tutorials are freely available easily via a Google search.. Used in my home studio only since my ownership. Comes with FireWire cable, literature etc. Possible trades. Midget, BF One10. Price does not include postage. Collection and demo welcome.
  15. If I didn’t already have one too many 112’s , I’d be on this. Great cabs. Being 4ohm I’d pair it with my Elf as a superb compact rig. Remarkable price too! GLWTS.
  16. Just tried the TubeDirt n Comp toneprint on mine. Tis marvellous 😁
  17. Bought some leads from Joel. They arrived exactly as described. Nice bloke to talk to as well. What more could you ask for? Thanks again Joel 😁 Cheers Dunc
  18. Luke bought a pedal from me. Instant payment, nice chap to deal with too. An all round positive experience. Thanks again Luke. Cheers Dunc
  19. Bought some rack ears from Gareth. Arrived superfast, exactly as described with bonus fittings! Great fella to deal with. Have no reservations. Thanks again Gareth. Cheers Dunc
  20. A couple of months ago I was out having a pint and ended up talking to a lass who was a bass player, she was back in England visiting her family. After a while she mentioned that the tip of her middle finger was mostly missing. She had been bitten by a dog. I’ve forgotten the exact details of the story now but when she was learning bass she went to see Marcus Miller somewhere. She ended up meeting him and asked him if he could give her any advice. She gave him her email address never expecting a reply. Much to her surprise he did get back on numerous occasions with tailored videos and advice on how she could improvise her playing technique. She couldn’t sing his praises enough. What a good lad!
  21. Just bought a tuner from Andy. It arrived rapid and exactly as described. Great communication and a pleasant fella to deal with too 😁 What else could you ask for? Thanks Andy!
  22. I’ve owned this for a long time. A mate borrowed it from me decades ago and I’ve just got it back today 😂 I’ve absolutely no use for it and so it’s up on here. It must be early 70’s, it is playable and the electrics work. 34 scale and is probably under 9lb. I do not know what the body is made of. Its about 41mm at the nut. It’s not a pro bass, it’s a quirky 70’s made in Japan bass that’s been played many many times. It has dings and scratches and needs some tlc. It’s also cheap. Trade - 5/6u shallow rack case, rack tuner. £50 collected from Blackburn Lancs. I may post if the buyer arranges their own courier etc.
  23. Getting an older version of Logic X Pro from the App Store and onto an older machine isn’t always as straightforward but the solution is easily found via a Google search and YouTube videos.
